it's like the hunger games or harry potter which i haven't been able to figure out that except that, i guess readers are hooked, and it doesn't really matter. maybe also the line between what young adult is and what is allegedly adult is not as pronounced as it used to be. >> host: are you publishing any of those books? >> guest: we're not. so i can't speak with a lot of authority. i do know as far as twilight, there's a famous story she tell, about being on an airplane reading and knowing when she gets off that plane, she has to buy that book. i think she responded to twilight just the way any reader would. >> host: what about the use of social media, particularly when it comes to pr and marketing of a book? >> guest: well, um, i'm 57 years old, and i don't tweet. and so i rely on the young people in my office to do it. i think that, you know, it's one of the things i'm trying to educate myself and my staff about. i think what the internet has offered us is a way to narrow cast that we've never been able to do and a way to in a cost effective manner potentially reach the audience th

rowling but rhode harry potter. but at the same time, i never talk about my book on my page. i may be do that once every six months maybe. so my whole point is if you get people -- and it's not like something i planned out. but i would just like to interact with people and if people get drawn to you and learn to have some kind of connection to you then they will be curious about your luck and want to know what it is you would write about and that is another way that i found my authors like william frederick cooper. great example. i met two of my authors on the same day. they were both at a festival selling their self published books. and i could tell by just his seriousness that i wanted to read his book. with william frederick cooper, i asked him about his book and he was so passionate about it the way he described what he wrote it and everything i knew immediately that his book was going to be awesome and it was. so it really is important not to just go and try to sell your books to people because that isn't going to work with its online or not a book festival or anything l
